Hublot "Lightning Bolt" Named After Usain Bolt.<div align="center"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m7ObIbru6N4/TlLDTF_6RWI/AAAAAAAAFy4/fOOXQkTkBU8/s1600/Usain+bolt+001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-m7ObIbru6N4/TlLDTF_6RWI/AAAAAAAAFy4/fOOXQkTkBU8/s400/Usain+bolt+001.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">To celebrate the opening of the first <b><a href="http://www.hublot.com/"><i>Hublot</i></a></b> boutique in South Korea, located in Daegue at the prestigious “<b>Hyundai</b>” department store, Swiss luxury watch brand <b>Hublot</b> organized a special event with brand ambassador <b>Usain Bolt</b>!<br />
<br />
The fastest man in the world, virtuoso of the 100 metres, conqueror of the 200 metres! The man who broke records on the athletics tracks! Nicknamed "<b>Lightning Bolt</b>", pure talent combining exceptional physical qualities with a relaxed and generous attitude, the 24 year old Jamaican sprint star took the occasion to be in South Korea to participate in the IAAF World Championships. With the world’s fastest man, this event included a ribbon cutting ceremony, a scholarship presentation to future athletes and a signing event for VIP customers who discovered the Hublot Unico King Gold, limited to just 500 pieces!</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AqQpzK2raZc/TlLDYw7uCuI/AAAAAAAAFzA/bRkD_1uoDeo/s1600/Usain+bolt+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AqQpzK2raZc/TlLDYw7uCuI/AAAAAAAAFzA/bRkD_1uoDeo/s400/Usain+bolt+005.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is the second time of having Usain Bolt in Daegue. He won a 100-meter race in 6th Daegue World Championships in athletes with the record of 9.86 seconds in May. The final 100-meter race which he will be competing will be held at 8:45 p.m. 28th August. Usain Bolt is the favorite and Hublot wish him Good Luck!<br />
<br />
For Hublot, it is hugely symbolic for a watchmaker to see his watch worn by the fastest man in the world! the concept of time is sacred, for him and for the brand... Hublot measures time, Usain Bolt always seems to outrun it!".<br />
<br />
Usain Bolt is not only an outstanding sportsman, but also a man with a naturally sunny disposition, who shares his gifts with humility. Like Bolt, Hublot is dedicated to the value of sharing, and is committed to sharing the company's own success and making a contribution to support those who are less fortunate. Usain, for his part, is personally involved in a number of children's foundations.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zkWaFVRn3e8/TlLDVxDtTLI/AAAAAAAAFy8/IIWkhOVooMg/s1600/Usain+bolt+003+LD.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zkWaFVRn3e8/TlLDVxDtTLI/AAAAAAAAFy8/IIWkhOVooMg/s400/Usain+bolt+003+LD.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>About Hublot</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">The exclusive story of Fusion Hublot made its name 30 years ago when it became the first Swiss watch luxury brand to fuse precious metals with functional rubber, sparking a revolution for material innovation and aesthetics. In 2004, Mr. Jean-Claude Biver gave Hublot a great new boost and revolutionized watchmaking with the creation of the “Big Bang”, the multiple award-winning chronograph with a contemporary and elegant design, which marked the start of the spectacular success of the brand.

My thoughts on the <b><i><a href="http://www.christianlouboutin.com/">Christian Louboutin</a> Rollerboy Spike Tartan Loafers</i></b>...Preppy meets Goth. At first glance, I thought these were hideous but after staring at them for a while I started to like them. The tartan print loafers are apart of the <b>Fall/Winter 2011</b> collection. <b>Price Tag</b>: $1,295<br />
<br />
When I see these I cant help but to think about Gossip Girl's character, Chuck Bass...<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. Live is leading the effort in assessing a Muzak archive that was recently discovered in a warehouse in South Carolina. The archives included more than 20,000 never-released master recordings of American music dating back to 1934, from jazz to early spiritual. Gucci Timepieces & Jewelry is the first partner to help the GRAMMY Museum support the preservation of this historical musical discovery. The effort will be focused on determining the best way to house, digitize and ultimately release the collection to the public.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">The <a href="http://www.commonprojects.com/"><b>Common Projects Duck Boot</b></a> is part Duck Boot and part military boot (in my opinion).

I must say that I think it made for a fun mix, that can be worn while being preppy or trendy. The boots are made of polished leather with a contrasting pebble leather from Italy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">In a flash of lights and neon signs, <b>Swizz Beatz’s “Reethym of Lite”</b> was an elaborate spectacle, which took place Tuesday July 19, 2011 in New York City. <b>Hennessey Black</b> was at every bar, and, though club “<b>Espace</b>” was very intimate, the guest list was a mile long. The carpet included a stacked roster of celebs: <b>Pharell, Nore, Maino, Lloyd Banks, Nneka, Diddy, Busta Rhymes and of course Beyonce & Jay, </b>and <b>Swizz’s wife, Ms. Alicia Keys</b>. Nice. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5CR7vsCURnc/Ti2E9N-zPRI/AAAAAAAAFv0/8Izw7uqqDzA/s1600/cliveswizzaliciadiddy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Swizz Beats clive davis alicia keys Reethym of Life" border="0" height="261" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5CR7vsCURnc/Ti2E9N-zPRI/AAAAAAAAFv0/8Izw7uqqDzA/s400/cliveswizzaliciadiddy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Swizz Beatz, a super producer and super philanthropist, had in mind to configure the most creative way of fostering the new Reebok campaign, an all-out cultural revolution! International rebel singer, “<b>Nneka</b>”, who lives in Nigeria, was in the house, and said that she couldn’t imagine anywhere else she would want to be than at the event. She mentioned missing a plane back to Lagos to stay in NYC to go to the exclusive midtown Event, “I’m here to see Swizz and lend my support.” </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jbLlMWYskjw/Ti2EidZGBOI/AAAAAAAAFvs/muu8W-8oURY/s1600/DSC02124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Swizz Beats Reethym of Life" border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jbLlMWYskjw/Ti2EidZGBOI/AAAAAAAAFvs/muu8W-8oURY/s400/DSC02124.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Plenty of pretty people and swagger enthusiasts hovered the “Shoe Wall” which featured Swizz’s latest kicks and varsity jacket. “Every color of sneaker on the wall represents something different, something cool”, commented a fashion-forward fan. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OyGmwgsVCBs/Ti2FEjm45ZI/AAAAAAAAFwE/43UKC6T-yN8/s1600/pharrelswizz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Swizz Beats Reethym of Life" border="0" height="295" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OyGmwgsVCBs/Ti2FEjm45ZI/AAAAAAAAFwE/43UKC6T-yN8/s400/pharrelswizz.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">In fact, every wall, every shelf, and every booth in Espace had a fresh pair of kicks on display. It was like confectionary factory, where Swizz was a real life Wonka. Purple, Blue, Pink, Yellow, sneakers for days and years. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8BSILBGMmRo/Ti2E-p2pvII/AAAAAAAAFv4/vBM49xSzYkk/s1600/IMG_3852.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Swizz Beats Reethym of Life" border="0" height="265" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8BSILBGMmRo/Ti2E-p2pvII/AAAAAAAAFv4/vBM49xSzYkk/s400/IMG_3852.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The only music that was bumped all night was old school Hip-Hop, something that everyone in the house was able to sing and sway to. And when the A <b>Tribe Called Quest</b> song <i><b>“Electric Relaxation”</b></i> hit, everyone yelled the lyrics aloud. But, the house went absolutely nuts when Swizz hit the stage with new cuts never heard before. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EcybiThz4GQ/Ti2FCRRwnpI/AAAAAAAAFv8/K88YFTA2nMw/s1600/IMG_3878.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Swizz Beats Reethym of Life" border="0" height="265" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EcybiThz4GQ/Ti2FCRRwnpI/AAAAAAAAFv8/K88YFTA2nMw/s400/IMG_3878.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The unveiling of Reethym of Lite Brand is set to shake up the world of fashion, injecting an international zeal that will no doubt turn the outerwear universe on it’s ear, and Espace in Times Square was the first space shuttle. </span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">As I was browsing one of my favorite blogs I ran into these <b><a href="http://www.louisvuitton.com/">Louis Vuitton</a> Nevada Derby</b> boat shoe/moccasin style shoes. At first glance I must admit I wasn't that interested in them<b>. </b>After looking at them for a little while I started to really like them, in particular the low boat shoe version. <b>Louis Vuitton</b> kept the shoes simple by only embossing the Louis Vuitton checkerboard pattern on the top of the shoe. This was a nice touch to keep the shoe less gaudy and more classic. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><br />
